U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft wants to know if your abortion was "medically necessary". Is he trying to intimidate women with invasive tactics or is he, as he claims, just taking action in reaction to lawsuits against him by doctors who are suing him over the "partial-birth abortion" law Bush signed last year?

As part of his effort, Ashcroft has subpoenaed records from Planned Parenthood Federation of America and several of its affiliate chapters.

This man needs to be stopped.
